Productivity Rewards System …. "CYCLE TIME TECHNICIANS"

Hi Robert

One of the functions of the Pilot site is to be a “Productivity Reward System”.... Teams will document Team Resumes from which the members will draft personal resumes…. Members can earn the title of “Cycle Time Technician” or whatever title the company determines is appropriate

Productivity Rewards System …. "CYCLE TIME TECHNICIANS"

On line teams get professional recognition for cycle time reduction… Recognition as "Cycle time Technician" on the Team Resume is entirely appropriate for significant improvements... Teams start by getting ideas from LEAN You tube videos… All the early awards are LEAN videos with cycle time suggestions.. Company approved team awards are LEAN cycle time videos that accelerate the process…. Later awards can get more personal.. It is the mission of the Certification Review Board to blend the nature of awards for best results

QUALITY OF RECOGNITION MESSAGE CENTER ...

Hi Robert

I am adding a section in the marketing site for “two message centers”……The first one is THE LEAN EXCHANGE MESSAGE CENTER which I explained yesterday….. The second one is THE RECOGNITION MESSAGE CENTER which I am describing below

I am going to allow companies to do away with the Board of Certification…. This simplifies the recognition and reward procedure and lets companies do it any which way with feedback telling them when it is working.

QUALITY OF RECOGNITION MESSAGE CENTER ...

Is the existing company recognition and reward system alive and well?… The quality of recognition is an on line message center.. All employees can comment on the quality of the existing recognition and reward system from their perspective….. Through some method determined by management employees can comment on the system… General management gets feedback on how well the system is working.. The Black Belt monitors progress and makes suggestions.

The message center is used for on line teams to report and record improvements made toward their certification… The Black Belt monitors the message center and makes suggestions … Management decides how employees post the message center…. Comment from employees in the on line message center gives feedback to management as to whether the system is effectively providing incentives for further improvement.

THE LEAN RESOURCES EXCHANGE CENTER…

Hi Robert

I am working on a "LEAN IDEA exchange center" deliverable… I am not ready to post it to the site yet…. It needs a few more days of thinking…. feedback might help… One aspect is to accept free advertising which can be abbreviated and used to front end load a "LEAN RESOURCES exchange center"…. I have plenty of material to start with if I don’t get a lot of initial input… The “lean search engine” will basically be a "LEAN idea exchange center" open to posting on the customer site… As you can see by my emails I can keep it full of new things until I get others to join in.

THE LEAN RESOURCE SEARCH ENGINE

On Line Team sites are LEAN RESOURCE search engines searching for better earning power for companies, leaders and employees

On Line Team sites are "LEAN idea exchange centers".. A LEAN resource market place…advertising in posted form… Front end input to the company productivity rewards system… A meeting place for LEAN enthusiasts from the outside world

POST THE LEAN RESOURCES EXCHANGE CENTER…

Post the search engine either through the marketing site or through the On Line Team site.. All postings are channeled through the site Black Belt and are posted to the exchange center on the On Line Team site…. Front end load your PRODUCTIVITY REWARD SYSTEM with a LEAN RESOURCE EXCHANGE CENTER that is part of a $495 Pilot program… www.lean-resources .com

ON LINE TEAM SITES BROADCAST PROFITABILITY

Good Morning Robert

I listened to the President of Google and the President of GE on the Sunday Morning Services… They got me thinking about Google sites and profitability

ON LINE TEAM SITES BROADCAST PROFITABILITY

On Line Teams broadcast the traditional team philosophy of “cooperation” to the entire company… Team work always has stood for “cooperation”…. Teams can keep cooperation alive with endless ideas for profitability…. Cooperation all by itself can achieve “continuous profit improvement”

On Line teams broadcast another profitability theme… The theme is a focus on “cycle time thinking”…In the average company the subject of cycle time rarely comes up…. In companies with On Line teams….employees dwell on cycle time reduction… Cycle time reduction becomes a fundamental part of “continuous profit improvement”.

THERE IS A MAGIC TO BEING ON A TEAM

Good morning Robert

As we discussed I am just sending you thoughts that could be potential blog material.. Most companies assume that teams spring up spontaneously and that random leaders just take teams any which way.. Team membership is held in high regard by employees, but it doesn’t seem so with companies…On line team sites can get employees, leaders and companies collaborating on a more formal team role and status

THERE IS A MAGIC TO BEING ON A TEAM

We have always known that there is something special about being on a team…. On line team sites accentuate and renew the good that employees, leaders and companies get out of teams

• Employees need the sense of belonging and satisfaction teams bring
• On line team sites give teams a clearer, firmer place in an organization
• Employees, leaders, companies can get more and better use out of teams
• There is a unspoken magic for employees in having an identity with a team
• Teams enable employees to feel that they have an important part in the company

THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK …. from recognition and reward

"Hi Bill

Here are some thoughts about my On Line Team Pilot Program… I haven’t put this perspective into the site yet but I am planning to weave it in shortly… The address of the site is www.lean-resources.com …. Read this first as it summaries why this will work for an engineering company as well as a manufacturing company

My first large management responsibility was at Parker Pen where at times I had up to 750 people in my chain of command….. My main success came with what I did with the Company Gain Sharing plan which was a system recognition and rewards … I never forgot the lessons I learned and I put them to work in other ways , in other companies… I have a sixth sense for that makes the process tick and that’s how I came to take an interest in Google Apps

THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK …. from recognition and reward

Most companies can make more out of the connection between productivity, efficiency, innovation, recognition and reward….. The tracks can be greased for improving leadership methods that influence the cycling and recycling of this earning power process

Google sites introduce a new visibility opportunity that can let any alert leader benefit from this On Line Team Pilot Site….. The Google cloud can collect and store no end of successful productivity ideas on Docs and Video…. Google visibility gives employee collaboration a new meaning, a new type of recognition and new rewards

Google sites are a magnifier and accelerator for tradition cycles of productivity, efficiency, innovation, recognition and reward…Google Sites give employees a new insurance policy in recessionary times…. A Team Resume for individuals to build upon.... " - Roy Sweney, "Mr. Productivity" himself, BlackBelt email: BlackBelt@lean-resources.com

A CUSTOMIZED GAIN SHARING SYSTEM

A CUSTOMIZED GAIN SHARING SYSTEM

"Area leaders are oriented to encourage employees to take an interest in LEAN videos that stimulate the imaginations of employees.. Employees are challenge to find out if these LEAN ideas work…..  Employees are given the freedom to try out their customized process ideas..  This is contrary to all the previous rules about controlling the process so employees don’t go off on their own….When even some small improvement works…then Customized Recognition and Customized Gain Sharing kicks in …as you will see in my site there is all sorts of customization that can take place with Gain Sharing and recognition…. On line recognition is one such customization factor…..employees are rewarded and put on a pedestal.   The customization  is tested to see if it fully engages employees in further improvements…..the process continues until employees are aligned with company goals and  improvement objectives…. The end result is increased company earning power that can be counted

The secret of this is in the determination and talent of customizing employee recognition and Gain Sharing.. 95% of middle managers have no idea how this works nor any belief that it would ever work....None of this will ever happen without the support of a professional that has been through the gun fire… That is why a one year  $495 Pilot professional on the board of review makes good practical sense." - Roy Sweney, "Mr. Productivity" himself, Certified BlackBelt

A CULTURE OF TEAM GAIN SHARING and Employee Recognition….

A CULTURE OF TEAM GAIN SHARING  and Employee Recognition….

"The Google Apps pilot program gives teams improvement incentives and communication … Team members get  to play a role  and get  recognition by association….    Google Apps  team members get a chance to feel good about their importance to the company and get a chance to experience professional recognition....Other company employees get to observe how Google Apps team sites can work for team Gain Sharing and employee recognition".  - Roy Sweney, "Mr. Productivity" himself, Certified BlackBelt
